Games out this week: 'Forza Horizon', 'Medal of Honor: Warfighter'

Not content with the likes of XCOM, Dishonored and Resident Evil 6 this month, October's hectic release schedule continues with the launch of another two heavyweight franchises, Forza and Medal of Honor.

Forza Horizon sees the acclaimed simulation racer move from closed circuits into an open-world setting, where players can showcase cars and undergo races against the backdrop of a festival that sees racers compete to be the best.

Medal of Honor continues the reboot of EA's famous first-person shooter series to modern conflicts, harnessing the expertise of the world's elite military operators to tell the 'soldier's story'. Meanwhile, multiplayer pits special forces from around the world against one another to truly see who's the best of the best.
